Removed the bitmap status field that saved internal states into the
file, creating rcs churn. Also removed the unneeded count variables at
the start of the file as these created merge conflicts for every board
that had multiple revisions

The use of printf, wxLogDebug, and std::err/std::out causes excessive
debugging output which makes finding specific debugging messages more
difficult than it needs to be.
There is still some debugging output in test code that really needs to
be moved into a unit test.
Add debugging output section to the coding policy regarding debugging
output.
This option removes copper layers from pads and vias where they are not
connected to other board elements. This allows the inner layers to be
more closely routed if the via landing pad is not needed.

Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

There were a lot of plotters, exporters, etc. that were rolling their
own implementations.
This also introduces a lazily-built set of SHAPE objects for doing
collision detection and some forms of rendering (and later DRC).
It's currently only supported in the Footprint Editor. It could be
easily added to the board editor (all the code is there), but the board
editor is a little short on room in the drawing tools toolbar.
Some items (tracks and footprint graphic items) when reading were added in reverse order
of the initial file, creating useless differences and breaking source comparisons.
In the case where the footprint arc has a non-normal angle, we cannot
represent this in pcbnew and it corrupts the gerber output. Therefore
we drop the invalid arc and continue to load the footprint/board.

Property is a pad info used mainly for fabrication or test.
Currently, supported properties are:
BGA property (variant of SMD pad)
Fiducial (global to the board or local to the footprint)
Test Point
Heat sink
Castellated.
And are used in Gerber files (copper layers and drill files)
Increment BOARD_FILE_VERSION to 20200104
